Cod-pieces?

But seriously, doublet and hose. No gold ties. You may have to change your name to "SilkHose."

After reading the book, I can now report that Earl Roland will in fact be wearing fashionable two-coloured hose.

Somehow, I'm struggling to picture PF in hose that is black for one leg and red for the other. Can't wait for photos from the set to see how he will look.

I wonder if they'll stay true to the clothes of the period or whether it will be tweaked slightly? I was a little alarmed to learn that the nuns of that time didn't wear underwear underneath their habits...
